I'm surprised that 4barsrest or somebody here on tMP hasn't raised this issue yet.
There is always a lot of comment about the system of adjudication at the Masters. This year, all competing bands were invited to vote whether they wanted to retain the current system of 3 adjudicators in separate boxes or to revert to the Nationals/ Open format of 3 adjudicators in one box together.
The result of the vote was that the present system of 3 separate boxes would be retained for this year.
However, after contacting the proposed adjudicators for the contest, (who, incidentally, were also voted upon by the competing bands), the contest organisers discovered that the adjudicators concerned feel they cannot accept the job whilst the current adjudicating system remains.
Therefore, all of the competing bands have been told this and have been sent a "second ballot" to see if they would change their votes in light of the selected adjudicators' positions.
It will be interesting to see what the outcome of the 2nd vote is. It will also be interesting to see if other adjudicators have the same opinion or if ABBA has an official position over this issue?
Anybody have any comments?
Anybody care?
